Technical Notes:
1.Iridium catalyst used for the highly enantioselective hydrogenation of a, ß-unsaturated esters.
2.Iridium catalyst used for the stereoselective catalytic hydrogenation and conjugate reduction of 4-
methylitaconate derivatives bearing a chiral auxiliary.
3.Iridium catalyst used in the synthesis of thiophene-based TAK-7 79 analogues via C-H arylation.
4.Iridium catalyst used in the practical synthetic approach to chiral (a-chloroalkyl)boronic esters via an iridium- catalyzed, chemoselective hydrogenation.
5.Iridium catalyst used in the regioselective C-H activation and hydrogen-isotope exchange of non-aromatic unsaturated functionality.
